1.0 | Getting courses to view the Program Area Types (a.k.a CTE Department) | A CTE course can have more than one Program Area Type (a.k.a CTE Department). For example: 6687 - Telecommunications (SCED 10006G) Having the Program Area Type (a.k.a CTE Department) displayed on the course list will will assist LEAs in identifying and reporting CTE courses effectively. | GET on /courses: "courseCode": "6687", "courseTitle": "Telecommunications", "identificationCodes": "courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CourseIdentificationSystemDescriptor#CTE", "levelCharacteristics": "courseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CourseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor#G" "courseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CourseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor#CTE-B" "courseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/CourseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor#CTE-T" |
2.0 | Sending a section with the Program Area Type (a.k.a CTE Department) | Given that a course may fall under multiple CTE Departments, the SIS/LEA is required to communicate to DPI the chosen CTE Department for the reported course. The CTE Department is reported on /section (courseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor) Starting the 2024-25 SY, the Course Level Characteristic Descriptors is used for CTE. Possible values are: Example 1: | POST /courseOffering: "courseReference": POST on /sections: "courseOfferingReference": |

1.0 | Reporting certified career education programs at a course-level | Certified career education (CE) program reported at course level and program-level. When a course is identified as part of a CE program, it is not necessary for all students taking the course to be participating in the program. Consequently, DPI expects SIS/LEA to transmit student participation in a program using the /studentsectionAssociation. These career education programs differ from courses in that they don't have a definitive outcome at the end of a single course. Instead, they represent a combination of courses taken over multiple years, which is why a career education program has a Certificated Program Status. Therefore, student participation is reported on /studentSectionAssociation, while the student's certificated program status is reported on /StudentCTEProgramAssociation. Starting 24-25 SY, the program type "certified" is updated to "IRC" Possible ProgramTypeDescriptor code values for reporting IRC data:
Possible programName code values for reporting IRC data:
For students with Coursework enrollment type, the Certificated Program Status is assigned to the primary enrollment. Possible CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor code values:
| If certified CE program reported at student-level, then POST on /studentsectionAssociation: AND POST on /studentCTEProgramAssociation |
2.0 | Reporting certified career education programs at a non-course-level | Certified career education (CE) program reported at non-course level. The student is not taking any courses offered as part of career education. However, they are engaged in fieldwork or another qualifying form of study, making them eligible to participate in the career education program. Starting 24-25 SY, the program type "certified" is updated to "IRC" Possible ProgramTypeDescriptor code values for reporting IRC data:
Possible programName code values for reporting IRC data:
For students with Coursework enrollment type, the Certificated Program Status is assigned to the primary enrollment. Possible CertificatedProgramStatusDescriptor code values:
| If certified CE program reported at course-level, then POST on /studentCTEProgramAssociation: "educationOrganizationReference": { |
3.0 | Reporting non-certified career education programs In order for a career education or career based learning experience to be considered a qualifying work based learning experience for data reporting purposes, specific criteria | Non-certified career education program can be reported at course level and non-course level. Starting 24-25 SY, the program type "non-certified" is updated to "WBL". Possible ProgramTypeDescriptor code value for reporting WBL data:
Starting 24-25 SY, the some program names have moved under the WBL program type: Possible programName code values for reporting WBL data:
| If non-certified CE program reported at course level then POST on /studentsectionAssociation: AND POST on /studentCTEProgramAssociation: |
4.0 | Reporting dual enrollment programs | Dual enrollment program can be reported at student-level and program-level. The program type "Dual" remains unchanged. ProgramTypeDescriptor code value for reporting dual enrollment data:
Possible programName code values for reporting Dual data:
| If reported at student-level then POST on /studentsectionAssociation: ------------------------------ If reported at program-level then submit /studentCTEProgramAssociation |
5.0 | Sending a student who has multiple certificated statuses under a single IRC program name involves indicating the certificated program status | Regardless of the number of certificates obtained under one program name (e.g., IRC State Approved Business & Industry), if a student completes one and continues to another, they should mark the certificated program status as 'Completed.' The LEA is advised to submit the most accurate status. For instance: Semester 1: IRC - CNA certificate - completed | POST on /studentCTEProgramAssociation: |
6.0 | Sending a student who's enrolled in multiple sections and participating in CE program | If a student exits a section and returns to the same section within the same term, the SIS ends the initial student section and creates a new student section with a new start date. In both instances, the student section should be associated with student program participation. Example: student left the class and joined back in the same section. Student Section A Student Section B | POST on /studentSectionAssociations:

In this scenario, the residential address serves as the Mailing address | POST on /parents: "parentUniqueId": "7533-15683211", "addressTypeDescriptor": "uri://dpi.wi.gov/AddressTypeDescriptor#M", |
6.0 | Sending the the student's parent/guardian address information when have a P.O Box for the Mailing address | The student's parent/guardian specifies a P.O. Box as the Mailing address, omitting a street address. In this instance, the mailing address uniquely relies on the P.O.

Available API Integrations
Address Verification API for Vendors - Required Integration for All LEAs [Coming soon]
This integration enables seamless access for LEAs (via their vendors) to retrieve verified student addresses through our API.
WISEdata Ed-Fi Validations API - Optional Integration for All LEAs
This integration allows vendors to display the WISEdata validation messages within their product, which in turn will help LEAs to easily identify what the error/warning is and where to fix it. The WISEdata Ed-Fi Validations API is an optional integration, does not require integration testing, and can be completed at anytime during the school year. DPI does require vendors to demonstrate their implementation.
Staff Identity Integration - Optional Integration for All LEAs [Coming soon]
This integration helps LEAs with the retrieval, the potential matches review, and the creation of WISEids for staff through their SIS. Moreover, it will reduce the frequency of WISEid file uploads for LEAs.
Immunization Registry Integration - Optional Integration for All LEAs
This integration helps LEAs to retrieve their students' immunization records from the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) system and ingest them into the SIS.
